Venucia T70's air filter is located beside the front passenger's left leg area. There is a cover panel on the left side without screws, which can be directly opened by hand to reveal a rectangular slot where the air filter is installed. The car's air filter is a crucial component in the air conditioning system and requires regular replacement. Most vehicles need to replace it every 10,000 kilometers. The dimensions of the Dongfeng Venucia T70 are 4630mm in length, 1845mm in width, and 1653mm in height. The Dongfeng Venucia T70 is equipped with Nissan's HR16DE 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and MR20DE 2.0L naturally aspirated engine.

I've changed the air conditioning filter for my Venucia T70 several times myself—it's hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, open the glove box, then firmly squeeze the plastic clips on both sides toward the center, and the entire glove box will drop down. Look inside, and you'll see a rectangular plastic cover secured with clips. Pinch the clips on both sides of the cover to remove it. Inside is the air conditioning filter—just pull it out and replace it with a new one. It takes me about 10 minutes to do it myself, but the key is to make sure you don't install the filter upside down. Also, a reminder: don’t yank the glove box damper rod forcefully—it’s safer to remove the clips first.

Last time I helped my friend replace the air filter for his Venucia T70 and found it exceptionally convenient. The location is right behind the storage compartment in front of the passenger seat, which we call the glove box. After opening the glove box, you need to use a bit of finesse: press both sides of the box inward with your hands until you hear the clips release, then the entire glove box can be folded downward. Look inside, and you'll see a plastic cover with a grid pattern. Press the protrusions on both sides of the cover with your thumbs to open it. The filter is made of white corrugated filter paper. When pulling it out, remember to take a photo to note the direction of the arrow, and insert the new filter in the same orientation. The whole process doesn't even require any tools, making it easy for anyone, including girls, to handle.

I recommend replacing the air filter for the Venucia T70 every six months. The location is thoughtfully designed behind the glove box, making it safe for elderly users to operate without touching the high-temperature components in the engine compartment. First, clear out any items in the glove box, then press and pull on both sides of the box to lower the entire unit. The filter cover inside features a foolproof design—just pinch both sides and lift to open. This front-mounted filter position eliminates the hassle of bending down under the car, which is especially friendly for owners with back issues, as the entire process can be done standing up. The key benefit is that the air inside the car becomes noticeably fresher after regular replacement.

The cabin air filter of the Venucia T70 is located inside the glove box, which is now a mainstream design. Pay attention to three key points during operation: use your fingertips to press and unlock the glove box limit buckle, do not pry it with tools; the spring buckles of the filter cover are on both sides, and you need to press them simultaneously to open; observe the airflow direction mark when removing the old filter. It is recommended to replace it every 10,000 kilometers or before and after the rainy season, especially for car owners in the north who should pay attention to clogging issues after the willow catkin season. Remember to wear gloves when replacing it yourself, as the edges of the filter in some models are quite sharp, so be careful not to cut your fingers.

From a vehicle design perspective, the placement of the air conditioning filter behind the glove box in the Venucia T70 is a solution. This not only shortens the air conditioning duct to improve efficiency but also utilizes the glove box as a maintenance cover, eliminating the need for a dedicated access panel. I measured that this position is only about 40 centimeters away from the firewall, minimizing the filter's exposure to engine heat. In practice, the glove box's downward-opening design provides a 30-degree working space, which is much more reasonable than some models that require removing entire dashboard side panels. However, it's worth noting that the filter housing lacks a sealing gasket, so it's advisable to check for water accumulation in the compartment during rainy seasons when replacing the filter.
